Welcome to Bend Oregon and its surrounding areas. A place of extremes. Poverty and wealth; heat and cold; green and brown; forward and backward; wild and domestic. One of the US's best kept secrets ... well, it used to be! "Come get it while it's hot!" Everything's for sale!
Let me show you what I love about this place ... and some of what I don't.

Silly squirrels! No matter how much you tell them human food is bad for them, they just keep eating it!

At least humans are smarter than that!

There are also lots of good signs telling humans not to encourage the squirrels.

Good thing humans can read! No way would they want to create a population of squirrels that rely so heavily on humans feeding them that they don't find food they can store for the harsh winter.I mean, if they were to feed them, they'd give them all-natural, sugar-free foods that the squirrels could store, wouldn't they?A large brain for reasoning and feelings .... isn't that what sets us apart from the "lower" forms of life?If only they could see them starving to death in the middle of winter!
